How can I get Apple Intelligence on my iPhone 12?

Hello~ No… an iPhone 12 will never receive Apple Intelligence and there will be no “new” iPhone 12.

You can think whatever you like. It won’t alter reality at all.

I think properly very soon nation release the iPhone 12 2024 edition with some new features for cheaper price but it’s actually cheap

The iPhone 12 was discontinued over a year ago. For a lower cost phone that includes Apple Intelligence, that would be the recently released iPhone 16e.

You don't. You would have to have an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max or iPhone 16 to have the hardware requirements to support Apple Intelligence.

In a way, you're right. It isn't 100% the RAM. It is the RAM and the Chip in the phone, which determines if the phone is capable of running Apple Intelligence. Only the phones with 8GB of RAM, however, have the Chip, which is capable of supporting Apple Intelligence.

I "think" I will put diesel in my car today. It's cheaper and I have seen people but it in their trucks and it is not a problem, or are they just forcing me to buy a more expensive truck.

Please help I don’t know how to install my iphone 12pro to apple intelligence.Any idea on how to install.

You don't know how, because you can't. The iPhone 12 Pro supports iOS 18 – but it does not support Apple Intelligence.

You need an iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, or 16-series phone to install Apple Intelligence. You also must satisfy some other requirements (e.g., "Apple Intelligence will not currently work for supported devices purchased in China mainland").

You can't.

How can i get Apple inteligence no my iPhone 12

Re: “the iPhone 12 pro and pro max could have the power for Apple Intelligence”

Even those two models have less RAM than any of the iPhones that are compatible with Apple Intelligence.

Apple intelligence would be really great if it was also on iPhone 12 it’s still great though!

Probably not. With the lack of RAM, CPU core and slower processor speed of the iPhone 12, I would imagine many users complaining how the feature had slowed down their phone and would be filling this support site with their threats to sue Apple for the performance issues they are now experiencing. It is excellent on the devices that can handle the resources required to implement the feature.

Buy an iPhone which supports Apple Intelligence, which is either iPhone 15 Pro/15 Pro Max or any new iPhone 16 model.

Yeah but maybe we could get a worse version with less features.

Well, Apple doesn't provide "worse versions" of anything. Mac Jim ID gave you a really excellent response and we'll just leave it there. The fact won't change that iPhone 12 is NOT capable of running Apple Intelligence and if Apple Intelligence is something you want, Apple would be happy to take your phone in trade towards an iPhone which can run Apple Intelligence.
